Note to Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz:
You may want to watch your own television show.
We can help. You can use this link to watch Vanderpump Rules online in order to catch up with past episodes of this Bravo hit.
Perhaps then you’ll be able to remove your jaws from the floor when it comes to Scheana Marie Shay and Mike Shay recently filing for divorce.
These Vanderpump Rules stars appeared last night on Watch What Happens Live and were asked by host Andy Cohen about Scheana Marie splitting from her husband of two years.
Considering that Scheana staged an intervention for Mike last season…
… and considering that a Season 4 episode also centered on Mike moving out of the couple’s apartment after just months of marriage…
… and considering that Mike actually went missing for a few days in November, while Scheana wondered about his whereabouts and folks wondered if he had fallen off the wagon…
… well, this divorce was not difficult to see coming.
Unless you are Katie Maloney and Tom Schwartz, apparently.
“It was honestly – it came out of nowhere,” Tom told Cohen on Tuesday evening’s broadcast. “We were blindsided.”
“We all thought they’d be together forever,” added Katie, who evidently has never actually spoken to Scheana or Mike.
Katie and Tom, who got married themselves in August, continued to sound more ignorant than the average Vanderpump Rules viewer, with Tom somehow stating on air:
“You never know what’s going on behind closed doors. They seemed happy from outward appearances.”
Ummm… no, they did not.
Countless episodes of your very own reality show – with camera rolling in front of open doors and everything – depicted Scheana and Mike experiencing serious marital problems.
But Maloney reiterated this same stance in a Facebook Live chat Monday.
“I never saw it coming. We never anticipated it. I thought they would be together forever,” she said at the time.
“My heart goes out to them and I can’t even imagine, but I think it’s the best decision for them both and I know that they will still be able to maintain a friendship.”
It doesn’t sound like you know anything about them at all, actually, Katie.
Wrote Scheana and Mike in a joint statement upon announcing their break-up:
While we have made the difficult decision to move forward separately, our story will continue on through the love and mutual respect that we have cultivated throughout our 15-year friendship.
Much of the recent speculation and reporting on our relationship has been misguided, and we have come to an amicable decision on all matters.
We might have failed at our marriage, but we are committed to succeeding as friends and will continue to support each other’s personal happiness and professional success.
Scheana later jumped on Twitter and thanked her fans for their support.
“Thank you all for the love today! It’s never easy to split with someone you still love, but we will always remain friends,” she wrote.
As for what brought the marriage down? And where the relationship will go from here?
A reliable source says more information will leak out as more episodes of Vanderpump Rules air this season.
Tom and Katie may want to tune in.
